What we ate this week…
As promised in last week’s post, we did in fact eat Glazed Pork Cutlets with Japanese Slaw, the BLT Salad and Baked Chicken Taquitos from I Heart Naptime Cookbook…and Steak with leftover Bearnaise Sauce. The salad was definitely the week’s winner! BUT the surprise was that I made Chrissy Teigan’s internet famous banana bread…

A New Feature for 2016: What We Ate This Week!
So in 2015, The Runner and I tried to keep a record of everything that we had for dinner all year. We were diligent (mostly) in the recording, however we never actually DID anything with the information. We should have entered it into a database (or at least an excel spreadsheet) and analysed, rated, remembered…

The week I became an adult…
How do you know when you’ve become an adult? Is it when you turn 18 and can legally vote? Is it when you move out of your parents’ house and start paying rent? Is it the day you earn your first pay check? Is it when you get married? Is it when you have children?…

The next 12 months…
When I first started this blog it was meant to be about triathlons and recipes- mainly because at the time my boyfriend (now fiancee) was into triathlons and I had a stack of cookbooks that were gathering dust and that he was teasing me about. I started in good faith dutifully cooking and writing but then somehow…

Warning: Purple Carrots will turn your hands purple.
It’s challenge day and I’m up early preparing the pork. I’m making the Slow Roasted Shoulder of Pork with Carrots and Crackling from Pete Evans’ My Kitchen Cookbook. I was really meant to do this last night but our “come over for a couple of quiet drinks” got a bit out of hand and…

A Challenge!!!!!
So….. we’re having Sunday Dinner tomorrow night with 6 friends. (I’m making Pete Evan’s Roast Pork Shoulder from his My Kitchen cookbook- FYI). But the question is– what to make for dessert? Excuse me, sorry- what dairy free treat can I make for dessert? As it turns out, most desserts– or at least most…

Evil Jungle Princess….
So lacking the rigor and structure and schedule of a full time job, I sort of neglected to actually remember to invite anyone over for dinner tonight. We did issue a couple of last minute invitations this afternoon in Coogee but sadly no takers. Oh well…. This week’s dinner is actually a family recipe. Not…

The goal for this week: Finish the Book and Do Yoga
So as we all know (if you read the blog), life is not the most exciting at the moment- I’m on a detox and reading a book that I hate. Life is good otherwise, even in my ice cream-less, wine-less state, but reading a bad book is bringing me down. That’s why, I have promised…

OMG, It’s another Sunday Dinner Party!
So this week’s challenge is from Jane Kennedy’s OMG I Can Eat That?!?. The recipe was the Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Piemakin and OMG it was pretty easy and pretty good! So, soon after I picked this recipe, I had a minor freak out—it’s served in Ramekins and I “only” have two sizes of ramekins…
